I can see songs being sung about the hero who successfully managed to rope a rampaging Jagganoth into a therapeutic knitting session.

That honestly sounds like a more benign "trickster goddess" story. Something like ol' grandma getting you to do stuff for her, which is secretly in your own best interests, because she knows you're ever so smart and talented and you wouldn't want to disappoint such a nice old lady would you?

Then before you know it, you've baked bread for half of Throne and found yourself enjoying it. And you're supposed to be an omnicidal angel with lots of spikes! :argh:

So gently caress yes I'm all in for that. :getin:

Come to think of it, does even Zoss know the secret syllable of royalty? He sure as gently caress does not seem to have the love that goes along with it, even under the very broad definition of love that comes with the knowledge that your own identity and the entirety of creation are one and the same. Dude just seems kinda ticked all the time.

While I'd like to argue that a man as bara as Zoss must prefer the company of other men, I'm afraid our guy is probably a celibate godking.

Clearly his overwhelming power comes from a strict volcel lifestyle.

Not true, Hansa was definitely royalty for instance. Zoss likely is too given he (a) was chill with dying and (b) hasn't let that minor detail slow him down. Allison isn't, but has taken a couple of steps on the right path (see text here for example).

Pretty sure none of the demiurges are royalty or they wouldn't act the way they do. They're really powerful, but cling to things that keep them from becoming royalty. They're a dead end.

Meti says she's royalty.

quote:

5. Upon meeting me, you might find that my appearance is quite dreadful and unkempt. I have been spat upon by priest, king, and merchant alike. I have no retainers, and possess nothing except a straight sword six hand spans (5 and a half kret) long (this is the proper length). This is because I am Royalty and the undisputed master of the principal art of Cutting. I will fight naked with ten-thousand men.

I'm sure there a few others too (Het maybe?). I wouldn't be surprised if we found out Maya was royalty since it could explain why she gave up her key.

She could probably be on the path to it, but so far the closest to even get to it is Zoss, as per Operant's tumblr.

"Hansa was the god of cynics and the elderly. He was a disciple of YISUN."

yisun committed holy suicide to create the creators of the gods, mythology is complicated and contradictory, and the gods were not the same order of being as the servants/humans/angels/devils

also anybody can say they're royalty. i'm royalty.

(i think meti stopped caring about pointing out that royalty is not truly attainable long ago)

I get the feeling that Royalty means different things to different people. In that case, I'll append my statement to "everyone who thinks they're Royalty".
